?>Best Practices and Tips
🚀 Performance Optimization
- • Compress images before uploading
- • Use appropriate output sizes
- • Implement caching for processed images
- • Process images asynchronously
🔒 Security & Rate Limiting
- • Store API keys securely
- • Implement proper error handling
- • Monitor API usage and limits
- • Validate file types and sizes
Error Handling
Common HTTP Status Codes:
- 200: Success - Background removed successfully
- 400: Bad Request - Invalid parameters or file format
- 401: Unauthorized - Invalid or missing API key
- 429: Too Many Requests - Rate limit exceeded
- 500: Internal Server Error - Server-side issue
Always implement proper error handling in your applications to gracefully handle API failures and provide meaningful feedback to your users.
